"Next time you come to Fengtian, I'll treat you to a meal," Yu Xiaoxiao sincerely invited Su Zhao, "Big Bowl Restaurant, we've agreed."
Su Zhao said: "Dawan Restaurant? Is this the best restaurant in Fengjing City?" The name seemed a bit off.
"Yes," Yu Xiaoxiao nodded decisively.
Gu Xinglang...
Jing Mo...
There's nothing good about that restaurant except that the dishes are big!
Yu Xiaoxiao sat down and started eating again, saying, "Xiao Gu and I are going to the White Horse Temple in a while, do you want to come?"
Jing Mo said to Su Zhao, "You still have to go to the palace to meet the new Lord Suzaku."
"Oh, then A Zhao, you go to the palace," Yu Xiaoxiao said without waiting for Su Zhao to speak.
Su Zhao went to the Suzaku Imperial Palace first. Yu Xiaoxiao put a bag of crispy broad beans fried by Nanny Wang in her pocket, and Gu Xinglang put a bag of peanuts in his arms. The two of them left the inn with the boss and a group of people.
Seeing Yu Xiaoxiao bringing Miss Qian and her female relatives with her, Jing Mo whispered to Yu Xiaoxiao, "Chiyang City is still not peaceful right now."
Yu Xiaoxiao didn't understand what Jing Mo meant and said, "Not peaceful? Will someone come to fight me and Xiao Gu?"
Jing Mo had no choice but to point at Miss Qian.
"She is Xiaozhuang's wife," Yu Xiaoxiao immediately emphasized to Jing Mo, "If you want to snatch her away, we can no longer be friends."
Jing Mo was helpless. Why would he fall for a merchant girl?
Seeing Jing Mo didn't say anything, Yu Xiaoxiao got a little anxious and whispered, "Are you really interested?"
Jing Mo said: "I mean, it might not be safe for you to take them out on the street." Her Royal Highness the Princess should understand what he said, right?
"Unsafe?" Yu Xiao: "What danger will they be in with me here? After coming to Chiyang City for these few days, I must let them see what Chiyang City looks like."
Jing Mo looked at the team and said, "Where's the nanny?"
Yu Xiao: "Mammy said she doesn't like to see it, saying that all the cities in the world have square gates, there's nothing to see."
Jing Mo said: "Mammy, what you said makes some sense."
"She is in menopause, and the world is colorless in her eyes," Yu Xiao said, "How can her words make sense? Is there a big bowl restaurant in Chiyang City?"
Jing Mo said, "Let's go." The more he talked about this kind of conversation, the more tired he felt.
"Let's go," Yu Xiaoxiao called to her friends.
Some shops on the streets of Chiyang City are open for business and there are some pedestrians, but compared to the prosperous past, it is far from it.
Miss Qian rode on horseback beside Yu Xiaoxiao, and she looked down on Chiyang City in every way. In Miss Qian's eyes, Chiyang City was not as good as their Fengjing City in Fengtian.
Yu Xiao: "I didn't realize you were such a patriot."
Miss Qian said: “I am telling the truth.
"Forget it," Yu Xiao said, "They just fought a war here, and the emperor has been replaced. Don't you want to let them suffer for a while?"
Miss Qian said unhappily: "Then how should I spend the money I brought with me?" There are only a few shops on one street, why should she go shopping?
Yu Xiao: "If you think the money is too much, give it to me. I'm poor."
Miss Qian said nothing and refused to go with him. The emperor's daughter was crying poor to a merchant girl every day. This was simply intolerable.
After the group turned into the street where the White Horse Temple was located, there were suddenly more pedestrians on the street. Most of the pedestrians were carrying the elderly and children, and most of them were families.
Yu Xiaoxiao asked Gu Xinglang: "What's going on? Didn't they say Cheng Ming was dead?"
Gu Xinglang said: "They are offerings to the monks and soldiers of the White Horse Temple."
"What?"
"Bring water and food."
An old woman walked past Yu Xiaoxiao with her little grandson. The wind blew up a corner of the blue flowered cloth covering the basket. Yu Xiaoxiao saw that the basket was filled with quite a few white flour buns.
"Don't say anything," Gu Xinglang said to Yu Xiao.
What can Yu Xiaoxiao say in the face of the power of faith?
The large incense burner in front of the White Horse Temple was filled with incense sticks and candles, and many pilgrims were kneeling in front of the temple gate.
When Jing Mo saw the open temple door, his face darkened and he asked, "Why is this temple door open?"
Zhou Ning, who led the troops to guard the White Horse Temple, saw Yu Xiaoxiao and her group from a distance. At this time, he had already come to Gu Xinglang's horse, bowed and saluted, and said respectfully, "Prince Consort Gu."
Gu Xinglang got off the horse, returned a salute to Zhou Ning, and when he reached out to help Yu Xiaoxiao off the horse, Yu Xiaoxiao had already jumped off the horse by herself.
Zhou Ning could guess that the person that Gu Xinglang was reaching out to help must be Princess Linglong of Fengtian. Not daring to look up at Yu Xiaoxiao, General Zhou just bent his waist a little more and said, "This general greets Her Royal Highness the Princess."
"You're welcome," Yu Xiao said, "You are General Zhou Ning, right? I've seen you fight in battles, and I think you can lead your troops to break through the city gate even without my and Xiao Gu's help."
Zhou Ning..., are you praising him?
Jing Mo walked up to Zhou Ning and asked in a deep voice, "Why did you open the temple door?"
Zhou Ning hurriedly replied to Jing Mo, "Your Highness, you may not know that many people attacked the temple gate last night and wanted to enter the temple. Your Majesty was afraid that the people would cause trouble, so he ordered the temple gate to be opened."
Jing Mo stopped talking to Zhou Ning, nodded to Zhou Ning, and walked towards the White Horse Temple. When encountering such a thing, one should kill one person to warn the rest. Li Luo is so soft-hearted, can he really expect this person to help deal with Mo Wen?
"Let's go into the temple and take a look," Gu Xinglang greeted Zhou Ning.
Zhou Ning quickly made way and said, "Please come in, both of you."
There were far more civilians than soldiers guarding the White Horse Temple. Incense was wafting through the large and small Buddhist temples, and there was an endless stream of devout men and women kneeling before the Buddha. If you ignored the soldiers in the temple, the White Horse Temple looked no different than usual.
"Master," the captain of the guards pointed to a Buddhist temple and asked Jing Mo to look at it.
In this Buddhist temple, many monks sit cross-legged in front of the Buddha and chant scriptures.
Jing Mo sneered and whispered, "It seems that these people are fearless."
The chief guard said: "With so many civilians protecting them, what are they afraid of?"
Jing Mo frowned and let everything in the White Horse Temple be as usual. If Mo Wen no longer sent the national teacher from the Eternal Life Temple, how would Li Luo explain to the people? Didn't this new king really know that a moment of softness would lead to endless troubles?
At this time, Yu Xiaoxiao asked Miss Qian to take Li Wan and others for a walk, while she and Gu Xinglang took the bosses to the warehouse.
The eldest boss was naturally bad-mouthed. He said to Yu Xiao: "Princess, you just threw things here and you don't care about it? What if someone steals your birthday gift?"
Yu Xiao: "Impossible."
The boss said, "What if?"
"Then I will tear down this temple," Yu Xiaoxiao said nonchalantly, "There's no chance of that happening."
The eldest boss said: "Okay, may the Buddha bless you."
There were monk soldiers guarding the door of the warehouse at that time. Seeing this group of people coming towards the warehouse, they hurried forward to stop them.
The pirates beat the four monks one by one, knocked them to the ground, tied them up with ropes, and blocked their mouths. The warehouse allowed these people to enter and leave freely.
